> who do i have to kill to get opera working again? If you want to go that separate Linux package route, I think improving qemu to add the kernel acceleration, so you can maintain that different package stack cleanly inside qemu.

Ouch....You need patience, loads of it. I am thankful that OpenBSD doesn't have such bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo. Buildbots are well and good, but if somebody can see it is a good fix they should roll it and try out a daily build across their supported platforms. > it would be quite nice to have a prebuilt firefox-debug package > but i guess it must be a monster to build... doesn't take long if you have i386/amd64 with 2+ Gb of memory and any 1.5GHz+ Core Duo and up. You can use dpb and it will do it overnight. Once you are done, weekly runs just update the packages. I use something like (refer to man dpb, this is from memory) dpb -f 4 -j 4 -u -U -F -R -P wanted_packages contents of "wanted_packages" www/mozilla-firefox x11/xfe x11/gnome ... ... ... I build gnome3 like this after setting /etc/mk.conf. Firefox balloons easily to while running the debug package, so your /etc/login.conf needs to be tweaked.
